Trying Something New
29 July 2007I’ve been searching for a solution that will allow me to integrate a message board into the blog. What I want is for comments to be handled by the message board as well as other discussion taking place there. Until now I’ve found very little.
But today I found bbPress. bbPress is a message board pretty much designed to integrate into Word Press. I’ve installed it and so far the database integration seems to work. If you are registered here, you are also registered on the message board.
Additionally, when I create a new post, a corresponding new thread should be created in the message board and a link to that thread should appear at the end of the post. This post will test that.
If this doesn’t work, this post will disappear. If it does, let me know what you think.
UPDATE:
Well, no joy so far. The message board works and the users were brought over but the thread was not created when I posted this post. I’m going to leave this here for now and do some more research. I really hope I can make this work.
If you’ve already made this work on your blog, please let me know about it.

Hi, Ron! Sounds like a good idea. How do we get to your message board?
